It displays all the well-known Sauvignon aromas. And beyond that, an impressive depth, precise, tightly woven and powerful, it rolls over the tongue and leaves salty memories. Perhaps the finest, most subtle and puristic Kranachberg of all time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent with Asian dishes, robust fish, crustaceans, and asparagus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSattlerhof Alter Kranachberg – Wine Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Alte Kranachberg is one of, if not the top vineyard site in Southern Styria. Steep vineyards, unpredictable weather, and diverse soils are the characteristics of the Southern Styria wine region. The single vineyard extends between Gamlitz and Leutschach and is primarily planted with Sauvignon Blanc (approx. 90%). The unique composition of these soils (calcareous sands with muscovite) gives the wine a distinctive spiciness with unmistakable fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fully ripe grapes from the top vineyard site, which is managed sustainably and biodynamically, are selectively hand-picked. Definitely one of the most successful wines from the exciting 2014 vintage. It is actually still too young for enjoyment, but the 5 years of bottle aging have done it good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sattlerhof Alter Kranachberg Sauvignon Blanc needs a lot of air, immediately showing very mineral notes of cold smoke and white marble at the beginning. These do not come, as one might think, from oak aging, as the wine was completely fermented and aged in steel tanks, but from the unique site. Over time, more and more aromas emerge, reminiscent of fennel, asparagus, and green apples. Then it releases exotic yellow fruit notes such as honeydew melon and pineapple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptimal drinking maturity until 2031 and longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSauvignon Blanc – a wine and its characteristics\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin Wine from Austria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowing region Südsteiermark DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard site Ried Alter Kranachberg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroße STK Lage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape variety Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlass Vino-Lok closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRespect Biodyn Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13.5 % vol.
